In partnership with several immigrant-serving community-based organizations, the Institute on Immigrant Integration Research & Policy started collecting survey data on social integration in the fall of 2024. The survey seeks to gauge the perspectives of immigrant New Yorkers in each of the ten New York State regions on several dimensions of psychosocial integration including (a) sense of connectedness; (b) navigational integration; (c) English proficiency; (d) sense of support; (e) resiliency; (f) self-concept; (f) context of reception; (g) multicultural orientation; and (h) well-being. In this webinar, which took place on May 30, 2025, researchers shared the findings of the study and discussed recommendations for policy and practice to address gaps and leverage opportunities for increasing social integration for foreign-born New Yorkers in the State.
